A desi girl is very unlike Priyanka Chopra in Dostana. She doesn’t shimmy her tiny waist in a diaphanous sari or wear tiny clothes to work. If she dares to, she knows she will cause a riot. Instead you will find her in the Metro, assuring her child she’ll be home soon.... as the hard-as-balls executive that everyone is petrified of.... the pampered girl who dreams of Virat Kohli in her dad’s sedan.... the grim looking woman who cycles to work every morning to support her alcoholic husband. It’s tough to typify a Desi Girl.

China is one of the most brilliant, this year's visit is likely to see it all. China may be a wonderful country with the old miracle of a lot of historical sites and packaging. Add to all this beauty the supreme glory of the scenery, you have a place where dreams are made of.

February is the month of love. Hallmark says so and so do all the jewellery brands. In fact I can almost hear them chanting in unison “If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it woho o o o o”. If only they could all groove like Beyonce! Anything that you purchase this month is for the sake of love and it better be expensive or else...

On Sep 30, the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court had given its verdict on the title suit of the long pending legal dispute over a piece of land in Ayodhya, based on “unverified and unsubstantiated reference to the faith and belief of the Hindus”.
